When planning a beautiful outdoor space, landscape lighting is often an overlooked element. Yet, lighting plays a crucial role in both the functionality and aesthetics of your yard. Whether you're highlighting key landscape features, creating safe walkways, or enjoying your backyard after sunset, the right lighting transforms your space in ways you may not expect.

At Broadstone Landscape, we design and install custom landscape lighting solutions that enhance the value, safety, and ambiance of your property. Let’s explore why outdoor lighting is worth the investment.

Top Benefits of Landscape Lighting

1. Enhanced Safety & Security

Well-lit outdoor areas reduce the risk of trips and falls by illuminating steps, walkways, and elevation changes. Plus, lighting discourages intruders by eliminating dark zones around your home’s exterior.

2. Improved Curb Appeal

Landscape lighting adds dimension and drama to your yard after sunset. It draws attention to trees, plants, architectural details, and focal points—creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

3. Extended Outdoor Use

With lighting in place, your patio, deck, or yard becomes a usable space even after dark. Whether you're hosting guests, relaxing with family, or simply enjoying the night air, lighting makes it possible.

4. Increased Property Value

Professionally installed outdoor lighting boosts your home's value. Buyers appreciate well-lit exteriors that offer safety and elegance, and it's often viewed as a high-end upgrade.

Popular Types of Landscape Lighting

Path Lights

Placed along walkways and driveways, these lights guide foot traffic safely while also elevating the visual appeal.

Spotlights & Uplights

Used to highlight trees, statues, or architectural features, these lighting types add drama and interest.

Deck and Step Lights

These low-profile lights increase safety on stairs, retaining walls, or railings, and provide a cozy atmosphere.

Floodlights & Motion Sensors

Floodlights illuminate large areas and add an extra layer of security when paired with motion sensors.

Accent & Feature Lighting

Used to bring attention to focal points like fountains, garden beds, or hardscape installations.

Tips for Designing Outdoor Lighting

• Start with Functionality: Illuminate walkways, driveways, and entry points for safety.
• Use Layered Lighting: Combine ambient, task, and accent lighting for a well-balanced design.
• Consider LED Fixtures: Energy-efficient and long-lasting, LEDs are ideal for outdoor environments.
• Automate with Timers or Smart Systems: Control your lighting remotely or automatically based on schedule or daylight.
• Avoid Light Pollution: Focus lighting downward or use shields to keep it contained to your property.
